Yogurt has low, to almost no, lactose because the bacteria have broken them down to simpler sugars. If they can tolerate cheese then they should be able to tolerate yogurt and if not likely the lactose is not the culprit.

I was just wondering last night as I sat screaming at my TV whether or not you would have any light tailgate/party foods on here and popped in to have a peek this morning and I see this delicious looking artichoke dip (which is exactly the recipe I was hoping to find!) Go team!

lightly steam the fresh spinach first for about 5 min. in a steamer pan over hot water, then allow to drain before adding to remaining ingredients, & it will probably taste even better, cuz of fresher ingredients.

This might be a silly question but would this be good cold? I would love to take it to a tailgate on Saturday but we will be outside and I won't have access to an oven...thanks for all the great recipes!

I love the idea of using fat free Greek yogurt for this! I just found fat free Greek yogurt last weekend and couldn't love it more. It's so thick and creamy. Great work with this! I'm so happy I found your blog, I've really enjoyed your recipes over the past couple days :)

I love you for making a spinach and artichoke dip that doesn't have cream cheese in it! I love the stuff, but my boyfriend won't touch it. Thank you! This one will definitely be front and center at our next party!

Gina, I just had to tell you that I made this recipe for my husbands dental school cooking competition last week and we won the appetizer round! I added some milk and a little extra parm. and moz. cheese so that it could be kept in the crock pot instead of baked and it was a hit..obviously :)(they will never know it was a skinny recipe!) Thanks for all the great recipes!

I made this tonight and it was delicious! I made the full recipe but only baked half of it, since it was just my husband and I. Do you think the rest could be frozen? If I do freeze it, should I bake it first?

I had some baby spinach in the fridge that was getting ready to hit it's expiration date, even though this one calls for frozen spinach, I decided to give it a whirl. I tossed the entire fridge bag of spinach in the bowl and since I was in a hurry, I didn't even cook it first. After combining everything, I put it in the oven. for the first 15 minutes of cooking I did pull it every 5 min. or so in order to stir to compensate for how much the spinach cooks down.In the end I still had an absolutely delightful dip that was SO good!! I am guessing it turned out a little looser than if I had followed exactly but the taste was still all there. Thanks for another great one Gina!!

Remarkable! I love this recipe so much! I made it yesterday with my mom and we both loved the taste. Thanks!! We will be making this again on my dad’s birthday. Hope he likes it! We also tried the recipes at www.gourmandia.com and www.gourmetrecipe.com and the outcome turned what we imagined, the cuisines are mouth-watering. Take time to glance those sites for more interesting recipes.

I made this for Eastern since I dislike mayo so much I doubled fat free Greek yogurt and I hate to say it was not good at all. sadly you really need the mayo to keep it creamy. It came out more like curd. is there anything else that can be used to make it a little more creamier?

I made this a couple of months ago and it was fantastic. I couldn't stop eating it. Thankfully, I wasn't on a diet of any kind. Now that I am, I think I'll be halving the recipe for the hubs and I so we don't overdo it. It was that good. Mouth-watering right now.

This was such a hit last night while we watched the Pats vs. Broncos! My boyfriend said next time I should double the recipe! I have made so many of your recipes and they have all been delicious! Thanks for sharing such great recipes!

Wow! We are enjoying this while watching the world series! It is delicious! Eating it with bagel chips. I probably should be having it with carrots and celery, maybe next time! But it tastes so good! I will make this again soon!

I just served this tonight for some friends and it was great!!! Definitely a lot of flavor without feeling as heavy as full fat spinach-artichoke dip. Everyone at the party kept asking when I can make it again--thanks for the awesome recipe!

This is, I believe, the 4th recipe of yours I've given a go and I am, yet again, amazed at how good it is. You have enlightened me to the truth that delicious, hearty food CAN be made using healthful ingredients and without ridiculously high calorie counts. I am so very thankful to have stumbled upon your site (thanks, Pinterest!) and truly look forward to each new recipe I try. Thank you for putting your food out there for all of us to enjoy. I will rave about you to anyone who'll listen!

I made this over the weekend and it was so yummy! Tasted just like the full-fat version. The only change I made was, I used a 10-oz can of artichoke hearts (not 13.5 oz) packed in oil, not water, since that's all the store had. Definitely making it for the Superbowl! Thanks for another great recipe.

Made this dip for a pot luck last night and it was a hit! I followed the recipe to a T and it turned out delicious:) Pretty sure no one knew it was low fat! I did not add any additional salt or pepper and there was plenty of taste to it

Made this yesterday to take to a Super Bowl Party and everybody LOVED it, including myself. Served it with RF Wheat thins, and it was so yummy!! Didn't feel guilty about eating it and you did not miss the heavy cream cheese. Another winner...thanks

I made this last night for company and followed the directions as written. It was so good! I like it much better than the packaged kind I usually buy and it's pretty easy to make, too. Thank you so much for posting this!

I made this last night for a small get-together, and everyone loved it! I don't have a food processor yet, so I kind of pulverized the artichoke/shallot/garlic... but it still turned out great. My future sis-in-law said that a friend of hers before had used yogurt instead of cream cheese and it was awful... when I told her this used yogurt, she was pleasantly surprised!! Thank you :)

I love this recipe! I first made it in 2012 and keep coming back to it. I use leeks instead of shallot and seasoned salt instead of salt and pepper. Fabulous! I always serve it with tortilla chips because those are gluten free. Thanks for such a great recipe!
